It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?

2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

Pending Free Agents:
1B | Eric Hosmer | San Diego Padres, 8 years, $144 million ($5 million signing bonus; $20 million/year in Yrs 1-5; $13 million/year in Yrs 6-8 wth player opt out)
Spoiler!

3B | Mike Moustaskas | Kansas City Royas, 1, $6.5 million

No Hosmer for the Red Sox.

Bit of a surprise: #RedSox announce signing of free-agent 1B Mitch Moreland to a two-year contract.

This is going to be bullshit if these guys don't get their $50 million + contracts.

Some of these fools are going to feel real dumb not signing Hosmer.

We just resign them at that point, right?

Hosmer is going to be a Royal like I have said along.

If nobody signs Hosmer he pretty much HAS to go back to the Royals at a cheap price, doesn't he? :-)

Could be Boras is pricing Hosmer out of a great deal ?

At which point we still have horrible pitching, horrible relievers, nobody in the outfield worth a damn, and possibly the worst farm system in baseball. No thanks.

RedSox are off the table, but aren't the Padres the front runner anyway?

I have no clue what you're talking about. What's wrong with wanting to do a rebuild? We are a bad team even with these guys on the roster.

I mean, he wants 200M apparently. Hosmer is great, but is he 200M great?

Sure as shit not getting it now. You'd have to have 2 teams bidding like crazy, and 1 suitor just dropped out. Now the Padres get to sit and wait.

It's also possible the Red Sox know what the Padres have offered and decided to move on to Plan B. I wouldn't be surprised if Hosmer signs something with the Padres soon. He has to understand the market shrinks the longer he waits...

Yeah but now Boras can't use the Red Sox to drive a higher price for Hosmer.
